I blogged about this here...

capability.html
Copy pasting the content of the my blog here...
I am just drawing the lines between already available technologies and
technique.....
Firefox we can associate Email to Gmail or Yahoo or anybody else - but it
is something different as the email address is redered in the html page but
our docs is in local file system. Or I can think of browser will not only
associated with HTML but also docs (already it can do image, probably video
and audio after HTML5) and more in future. So we need to some how associate
it to browser to specific web application which is capable of handling the
tasks. So there should be browser handshake and web application handshake.
It is easy and do-able.
How can I save the document back to where I read from? There are multiple
approach. We can leave it to browser as it knows where it read from so it
can save it back. It is kind of complex as it needs to know multiple things
like other extra elements which "web application" added to render the
document and other things which I am not able to think now. Second option
is just thinking in line with Opera - It recently released a feature which
makes browser as local http server. Ok good. And if we combine "Web
application" and browser's http cababilites and thinking RESTful way, we
can save the documents back. So it is kind of mash up in highlevel but it
is ultimately do-able. Probably when we think more there may be better way
to do that.
